Man, for someone who really likes ninjas, I actually haven't played a lot of ninja games! Whats wrong with me?!
Any ways here's my favs:
Shinobi 3- I played this game constantly when I a was a kid. I mean, it had everything that ever made ANYTHING cool. Ninjas, cyborgs, crazy messed-up mutants, mechas, brutal guns that sound like POWERTOOLS.(ok, it didn't have werewolves, Witch Boy) It was my religion.
It eventually got lost or stolen or something though. When I did buy another copy fairly recently it was still INCREDIBLE. I nearly went and threw away my PS2 because I was like "I'll never need any other game again for as long as I live!" ...ok thats a bit of an exaggeration...
STRIDER- another game I would nearly trash a PS2 for.
Heh, thats all I can think of for now.
I have heard of Ninja 5 O or whatever its called. Thats one I've been meaning to check out. And KAZE KIRI for the PC-Engine. I've also been looking into Sengoku 3, it really looks kick ass. I remember the first Sengoku was loads of fun. Really, one of the most imaginative side scrolling brawlers I've played.
I also remeber there was this one Ninja brawler that had a alot of mode 7 effects... It kind of remined me of the Konami X-men game... anyone have any idea what I'm talking about???
SHO KUSUGI in Tench??? No way! I'll definately have to check that out!

Am I the only one who thinks it's odd that the OP's referring to his Dreamcast as a girl?
Jayson:
Well,
both let you stick things in them for amusement...
both usually end up costing you a fortune over time...
and both whine incessantly...

Have to go with the original Tenchu for PS1. That one really caught me and I played the hell out of it.
Then I'll go with Ninja Spirit on TG16 because it's just pure, concentrated awesome.
